On Thursday, PM Shri Paryatan Air Service was launched by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav at Raja Bhoj Airport in Bhopal. This has provided for linkages among eight cities in the state. For the first month, there will be a 50% fare discount.
On Thursday, Raja Bhoj International Airport in Bhopal hosted the launch of PM Shri Paryatan Air Service by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. The inaugural flight from Bhopal to Jabalpur was marked off by the Chief Minister. This flight will travel to Jabalpur and afterwards Rewa from Bhopal. It will then touch down at Singrauli.
Dr. Mohan Yadav, the Chief Minister, also opened the Bhopal Airport ticket office. The passengers were given boarding passes. The following people attended the state-level inauguration ceremony: Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla, Principal Secretary of the Tourism and Culture Department, Managing Director of the MP Tourism Board Shiv Shekhar Shukla, Managing Director of the Tourism Development Corporation Dr. Ilaiyaraaja T, Additional Managing Director of the Tourism Board Bidisha Mukherjee, and Minister of State for Religious Trust and Endowments (Independent Charge) Dharmendra Singh Lodhi.
On this occasion, Dr. Mohan Yadav, the governor of the first state in the nation to offer air ambulance services, stated that the air service will shorten the time required for traditional road and rail trips. It will be simple and take less time to go from the state’s remote Rewa-Singrauli area. In the state, there are three different kinds of facilities offered under air travel. Across the state, air ambulance services are offered. By getting in touch with the collector, one can take benefit of the air ambulance service if necessary. In addition, Air Ambulance offered its services during the election season. The only state in the nation providing this kind of assistance is Madhya Pradesh. We’re going to make air strips.
Thirty of the state’s fifty-five districts have airstrips, according to Dr. Yadav, and all of these will be grew quickly. These strips will be used for pilot training. Pilot training degree and diploma programs will also be offered. Khajuraho has opened the nation’s first helicopter pilot training school. Wherever there are airstrips, the state government will make an effort to award degrees and diplomas through pilot training institutes and adjacent universities. The project will draw funding and promote career-oriented education throughout the state.
According to Dr. Yadav, the ability to visit holy places by helicopter will also begin operations on June 16 in an effort to encourage religious tourism. The state is going to expand its aviation facilities in every manner possible. This will promote trade and business in the state and open up job opportunities. Travel across the entire state will be convenient with air service. In addition, attempts are underway to establish an air link between the Jyotirlingas at Omkareshwar and Mahakaleshwar. The goal is to expedite the darshan of both Jyotirlingas from Bhopal or Indore. Religious sites such as Salkanpur, Katni, Datia, and Orchha will also have air connectivity.
Additionally, there will be air service connecting Omkareshwar and Mahakaleshwar.
The first helicopter pilot training school in the nation has opened in Khajuraho, according to Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, who added that the Prime Minister has supported the initiative. Anywhere there are aviation strips, the state government will attempt to set up pilot training facilities and award degrees and diplomas through the local university. This effort will attract investment and support career-oriented education throughout the state. The state of Madhya Pradesh is increasingly attracting tourists from around the globe. Travel across the entire state will be easy with air service. Additionally, attempts are underway to establish air connectivity between Omkareshwar and Mahakaleshwar, two of the Jyotirlingas.
“PM Shri Paryatan Air Service” will be beneficial for expanding the tourism sector as well as industry, trade, health, education, culture, and the arts, according to Principal Secretary of Tourism and Culture Shiv Shekhar Shukla. In the coming years, additional cities will receive similar service, led by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav. At the airports in Indore, Bhopal, and Jabalpur, booking counters are available for making bookings for air travel.
